To day explained is part of the vox media podcast network. It takes everything to reach zero carbon omissions, zero racial wealth gap and zero poverty. That's why citys working to help tackle climate change, help provide a path out of poverty and help close the racial wealth gap. Some might say this is idealistic, but having ambitious goals is what helps all of us make meaningful progress on world wide problems.
The US economy has shrunk for two consecutive quarters. That’s technically a recession. But economists aren’t so sure we’re actually in one. Madeleine Ngo and Jacob Goldstein explain.
This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy and Miles Bryan, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Noel King.
